Analysis of Peggy Carter



    Peggy Carter was her name.
     Dazzled you with her charm.
     Hypnotizes you with her smile.
     She had fashion. She had grace.

Long black satin hair. Skin white
     as snow. Lips strawberry red.  
     One kiss from her is all that you
     need. To send you on your way
     to make you dream.

Peggy Carter steps out onto 5th
     avenue traffic stops. Steals
     the show. Underneath your
     Pillbox hat.  Beauty is all that
     you see. In billboards in freeways
     down Rodeo Drive.

Smell of roses and jasmine. You
     know you can't look away.
     A voice so soothing. You thought
     you heard an angel speak.

Peggy Carter lovely as can be.
    Sanged down by the One Way
    Jazz Club. She lures you in.
    Dancing the night away.

An Irish girl. A father named Garry
    who worked at the mill. Her mother
    named Carol a school teacher at
    Our Lady of Agnes a catholic school.
    And a younger brother named Matty
    Who worked part-time at
    Mr. Mc.Gregorys Deli after school.

Since she was six all Peggy Carter
    wanted to be was famous. See her name
    in bright lights, make headlines. Walk
    down Hollywood Blvd walk of fame.
    Was what she dreamed of.
    From New York, to San Fransico and L.A.
    Wherever there was a mic or a spotlight
    is where she went. To sing, to dance,
    to seduce.

She was a stunner. She was a star.
    She knew the way to a man's heart.
    In her long silk pearl dress a white
    blossom in her hair. When ever she
    performed you knew you where in
    for a show. Night and day sailor men,
    business men would hear her sing.

Peggy Carter had style. She had grace
   Got you under her spell in her arms.
   Nothing else matters that scotch is
   even better. The setting of candle lights
   even more soothing.

Look into Peggy Carters eyes. She
   would take you into a whole different
   world. Close to Venus. Maybe Mars.
   Close to Aphrodities or some other
   goddess.

Where heavens go and dreams end.
   Stars align where Peggy Carter goes
   she is beyond compare. A whole
   another universe.
  Where doves cry and angel's weep.
  She will dazzle you every time you meet.

Oh! Peggy Carter lovely as can be.
   If you ever see her. You know what I
   mean. Oh! Peggy Carter where can
   you be. The magic of her charm.
   No one else can be..If you ever in
   town stop by the One Way Jazz Club.

About this poem

I wrote this from a picture from an ad from the 1940's magazine pin stripe girl. I find inspiration in things that I never thought I would remember. A glimpse of that era.
